Nutrient - Periwinkle

(Vinca minor)

By Nutri People

Periwinkle herb (Vinca minor) contains an extract called vinpocetine. Vinpocetine can cross the wall between the blood and brain, thus supporting healthy brain function, memory, learning, concentration, mood and sleep. Vinpocetine enhances blood flow in the brain by widening blood vessels and preventing blood clots. It helps boost the brain’s use of sugar and oxygen and its ability to make ATP, a type of energy stored in cells. Vinpocetine helps protect the brain against toxins. It also maintains healthy blood vessels, hearing, eyesight and heart.
